After being a Parade All-American at Astronaut High School, Wilber went on to play linebacker under Charley Pell from 1980 to 1983. Those were the good ol’ days when Florida had a ferocious defense that produced several NFL players. He finished his college career with 343 tackles (9th all-time), 58 TFL, 23 QB sacks (5th all-time). He was first-team All-SEC all three years he played, and was a two-time consensus All-American his last two years. He was ABC Sports National Defensive Player of the Year in 1983, and first-team Team of the Century in addition to being named as a Gator Great. Wilber’s reputation also earned him a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2008.
